1. Introduction

This is FAQ for all "small" questions which are very usually seen asked. Usually those who ask doesn't bother to read tutorials (where all answers are). Anyhow, this is only meant to ease up the answering mayhem.

Questions with answers:

Q: How can i rotate DO's/entities?
A: F5, choose object, point it so a vertex highlights, press down either 1,2 or 3 and move your mouse. If it's an entity (ie. a gun) press first A to enable rotating.

Q: How do i make a door?

Q: How do i make lighting?
A: http://maxpaynemods.net/articles/zenofmaxed.php#part5.0

Q: How do I invert faces? (make the mesh look like a box)
A: Go into F4 (Extrude) -mode, point at the box with your mouse cursor and press Ctrl-F

Q:Why does my level crash?
A: We don't know. Usually if your level crashes, you're doing something wrong. There are a few bugs which causes crashes. The best way to debug is to track where it crashes, usually this happends in radiosity-calc; compile the rad in separate rooms until you find the one which crashes. Then start to remove objects and see which one causes it.

First try to find the solution yourself, then ask for help if nothing else works. You learn a lot by mistakes.
